Double boot on X5 ?
Bloody_Sorcerer:
i spotted a patch today on flyspray that claims to do dual-boot for the X5... didn't try it because i don't wanna run the risk of a brick :) im perfectly happy with the rockbox firmware without potentially bricking by going back with a patch or whatever :)
RaeNye:
Yeah, that's my patch.
It WorksForMeTM, and it should work for you too. ;D
In any case, you could just connect it via USB and reflash firmware.
See discussion in the tracker for more info, I reckon it would be released soon.
I don't see rockbox.org distributing cowon's firmware, BTW; you'd probably download the patch and apply it to your x5-fw.bin of choice.
R.
P.S.
I did think of using the OF's code, but for BBE rather than video.
Video will be supported sooner or later (the latter ;)) in RB for all capable targets;
BBE would never be as it is licensed/patented/whatever.

Are you sure it won't brick the thing?
RaeNye:
Whenever upgrading firmware, you only change the flash from 0x10000 and afterwards.
0x0-0x10000 contains the preloader, which handles things as USB-mode, charge-mode, etc.
It's as safe as flashing a beta version of cowon firmware.
(hey, I've flashed my x5 a dozen of times while debugging my code)
ya1950:
The double boot firmware loads correctly into H3Mod and the graphics can be modified in the same manner as the regular Cowon firmware. I've tried it and it works but I haven't flashed the firmware yet. If this works then modified skins can be used with the dual boot without having to recompile for each skin. Any problem with this approach?
